Charles
Schulz said that. You know the cartoonist? A recent biography describes
Schulz as sad. The Schulz family denies the allegation.

Hmmm
�.

Does
it really much matter, one way or the other? Charles Schulz was a
great artist of comedy. Isn't that what matters?

Puccini
wrote great, but very sad operas. Does that make Puccini a sad man?
If Charles Schulz is right, Puccini should have been one of the happiest
men in the world, with all those sad songs pouring out of him.

Most
sad songs are about the agonizing limitations of love � so they are
songs about love's failure �

I'm
writing an entire book about America's Heart Failure � and the Progressive
aim of proving love impractical, if not a downright delusion -- which
is sort of the inferences conveyed by making abortion not only legal
but "the only way to go, girl!"

Now
there is a train of thought! Hanging sad songs to the sad and sickening
deaths of 1,500,000 American, gestating infants per year.

Billie
Holiday wrote "Strange Fruit" about the deaths by hanging of thousands
of runaway slaves and, as the South referred to them, "uppity negroes."
Now that's a sad song.

"The
Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a sad song. It is the angry march
of a raging chorus, promising God's vengeance on America for her hypocrisy,
her refusal to live up to the words "all men are created equal."

How
about abortion's denial of the "inalienable right to life?" If God
can get upset over slavery, he certainly might be a little peeved
by the remark made by a Surgeon General for the Clinton administration,
Joycelyn Elders, the one sarcastically asking America what that nation's
"love affair with the fetus" was all about.

She
was obviously a "Progressive Realist" whose contempt for American
sentimentality had her spitting over her shoulder at the American
past.

Let
her spit on the American Civil War, and that nation's love affair
with equality.

Presidential
candidate Barack Obama, another "Progressive Realist," seemed to do
so, when he described the Emancipation Proclamation more as a tool
of war than any sincere act on Abraham Lincoln's part to live up to
the Declaration of Independence and the words "all men are created
equal."

Such
idealism plays no part in "Progressive Realism." Like the Soviet "Socialist
Realism" which Joseph Stalin ordered Russian artists to serve and
which he exported into America with the Group Theater and the New
School for Social Research, this specter of "Progressive Realism"
has socialists replaced by scientists and Marxism the only logical
step to worldwide, government-enforced eugenics, that "perverse science,"
as Winston Churchill described it, which was the philosophic spine
in the horrific gestation of "Eugenical Realism" called the Holocaust.

Because
we don't smell the burning flesh of fetal tissue certainly doesn't
mean we don't know what's going on. Did America have to have a "love
affair" with the Jewish Diaspora to save the lives of millions of
Jews?

Must
we have a "love affair with the fetus" to end legalized abortion?

The
only "love affair" America had to have to end slavery, or will have
in order to overturn Roe v. Wade is a love affair with life.

The
ancient Greeks knew all about grand love affairs when they called
Man's love affair with death "Thanatos."

For
Progressive Realism and Progressive Realists to deny that abortion
and the RU486 morning after pill are not America's Thanatos, or love
affair with death, portraying homicide, or as the Clinton administration
might prefer to call it, "fetizide" as Man's increasingly best solution
to almost every problem � well � it's like saying that the Holocaust
did not involve a Nobel Prize Winner's famous invention, Zyklon B.

Such
denials can't be done � and the fall from grace which the Nobell Prize
itself is inevitably undergoing mirrors the same disgrace the word
"Progressive" will be forced to live with when America does what it
inevitably must do: overturn the Roe v. Wade decision with a Constitutional
Amendment that forbids the Supreme Court from ever defying the human
rights paragraph in the Declaration of Independence.

"Strange
fruit" indeed � resting at the bottom of an abortionist's wastebasket.
